In the article, Jemima says that Diana, who dated the heart surgeon from 1995 and 1997, sought her advice during fundraising visits to Lahore. The relationship was broken off as sources say Hasnat refused to marry her.
Jemima has revealed that her late friend Princess Diana was so madly in love with Hasnat that she considered moving to Pakistan to be with him. She wanted to know how hard it had been for me to adapt to a life in Pakistan, Jemima told the magazines contributing editor Sarah Ellison, according to dailymail.co.uk. She also went to meet [Hasnats] family secretly to discuss the possibility of marriage.
Diana tried hard to impress Hasnats immediate family, specifically his mother, but despite her best efforts, it would appear that this second love would see Diana yet again falling on the wrong side of an influential family. Even though Diana had an aristocratic lineage had married (and divorced) Prince Charles and was mother of the heir to the British throne Hasnats mother wasnt ready to approve of her son contemplating marriage with an English woman.
For a son to marry an English girl is every conservative Pashtun mothers worst nightmare, Jemima added. You send your son to be educated in England and he comes back with an English bride. Its something they dread.
Dianas friend Rosa Monckton tells Vanity Fair that Hasnat was the one who initiated the break-up but her other friends believe that Diana ended it herself as Hasnat was not interested in getting married to her. Although the couple had discussed marriage friends of Diana told the magazine that she wanted a daughter with Hasnat the relationship fell apart when she met Dodi Al-Fayed (film producer and son of Egyptian billionaire Mohamed Al-Fayed). Rosa further insisted that Dianas relationship with Dodi was just to make Hasnat jealous.
In Hasnats interview, as part of the Lord Stevens inquiry into Dianas death, he called marriage a ridiculous idea and said, I told her that the only way I could see us having a vaguely normal life together would be if we went to Pakistan, as the press doesnt bother you there.
Diana and Hasnats relationship will form the plot of the upcoming film titled Diana. Naomi Watts will play the title role. Vanity Fair revealed that when Hasnat was contacted by film-makers to share how his life with Diana was, he refused to cooperate, remaining very much the man Diana once described him to be, to a friend the one person who will never sell me out.
